Stage Clear

Shpint

Hi all,
How can I show that a player has passed this stage/scene? like mark it with a check mark or something. Or even has a lock when it has not been played and then that lock is removed when the stage is clear?

When you finish a stage, have a variable (boolean) called 'Level1unlocked'. Change it to 'true'.

On your stage select screen, have an actor that has the rule:

If Level1unlocked is true, change image to 'open padlock'. Otherwise change image to 'closed padlock'

Do this for each level. Though I'm sure there's probably a more efficient way of doing it...

Cheers,

The only slightly better way i can think of is to have a varible called levelReached (int). Everytime a level is complete + 1 to levelReached.

Then using the same actors as QS suggested have a rule

if levelReached < 1 (2,3,4 etc)
change image to 'closed padlock'

Yep, I was thinking about that too. It's about the same amount of work I think, and shows there are several ways of doing it

Something i posted on a while ago that saves a ton of time.
If you are not doing the unlock thing and only a continue feature you can even do everything from one prototype for every level.

Either way this cuts the editing in half or more. And is a cool trick that isn't technically a GS featiure
